What, who or how and when did you first get involved with the Iditarod?:

I got involved with the Iditarod the year after we moved to Alaska because I wanted to be part of the local community.

What is your Why? Why are you here TODAY and involved with the Iditarod?

 

I’m here today and involved with the Iditarod because I love to see the way the dogs run and how dedicated they are and the good care that they all get and I like to help out in the community. 

Tell me about your most memorable Iditarod experiences?:

One of my most memorable Iditarod experiences was during COVID when we had to be close together but couldn’t be close together and wanted to be close together and that was very frustrating. 

What do you know for sure?:

What I know for sure in life is that we need to help others as we go along in life because at times we will need help ourselves.
